Pensions will increase in June 2026, but not for everyone—there are some caveats
In June 2026, there will be no new across-the-board pension increase in Ukraine, as indexation was already carried out in the spring. At the same time, some pensioners will still receive more money—thanks to age-based supplements and automatic recalculations. The changes will be targeted, but noticeable for many.
The pension system in June is operating without major surprises, but with a series of small increases that will take effect automatically, without the need for applications or lines at Pension Fund offices, and for many people, this is the main change of the month. Following the 12.1% indexation in March, no new across-the-board increases are planned, so pensioners will continue to receive the updated amounts, which, depending on the category, have risen from a minimum of 100 hryvnias to over 2,500 hryvnias.
Age-based supplements play a special role in June; they are automatically calculated upon reaching a certain age, provided the pension amount does not exceed the established limit of 10,340.35 UAH, and it is these supplements that provide a significant increase in monthly payments.
Thus, pensioners aged 70 to 75 can receive up to 300 hryvnias in additional payments, those aged 75 to 80—up to 456 hryvnias, and those over 80—up to 570 hryvnias, and these amounts are added monthly without the need for additional applications. Separately, the government revised the minimum guarantees for certain citizens with long service records, setting the minimum pension at 4,050 UAH for men with 35 or more years of service and women with 30 or more years of service, as well as for some pensioners aged 75–80.
For people affected by the Chernobyl disaster, increased minimum payments are also in effect, and they vary significantly depending on the disability group—from 6,808 UAH to over 11,000 UAH.
Working pensioners are not left out either, as an automatic recalculation has been in effect since April 1, and by June, some people will already see increased payments if they continued to make contributions.
Importantly, there is no need to contact the Pension Fund for this—the system handles everything automatically, which significantly simplifies the process and eliminates unnecessary bureaucracy. At the same time, not all pensioners have seen the spring increase, particularly those whose pension exceeds the maximum limits, or those who were recently awarded a pension, less than three years ago.
On average, pensions in Ukraine now exceed 6,400 hryvnias, but actual amounts vary greatly depending on length of service, salary, and benefit category, which is why the government continues a policy of targeted supplements rather than a uniform increase for everyone.
Experts emphasize that in 2026, the main focus remains on supporting the most vulnerable groups, rather than on a general sharp increase in pensions, which explains the current model of targeted supplements.
The Pension Fund of Ukraine in Poltava Oblast has filed a lawsuit seeking to recover 297,000 UAH in overpaid pension benefits from Lesya Martalishvili, the deputy mayor of Poltava.
